As the fierce battle commenced between Bhoja and Krishna, Shatadhanvan anxiously searched for Akrura, but could not find him anywhere. Though Akrura was capable, he refrained from joining the fight, his age holding him back, even after Bhoja and Janardana had dismounted from their chariots, their horses still unharmed. Gripped by fear, Shatadhanvan resolved to flee once more, traveling over a hundred yojanas in his desperate escape. His steed, the mare Vijñātahṛdayā, renowned for her ability to cover such vast distances, had been Bhoja’s companion in battle against Krishna. With her speed greatly increased, she raced across the hundred yojanas of road, but the journey exhausted Shatadhanvan as he watched from his chariot. Soon, the horses, worn out and fatigued beyond measure, gave up their lives on the chariot. Krishna then spoke to Rama, saying, “Stay here, O mighty-armed one; I see the horses are spent. I will go on foot to seize the Syamantaka jewel.” With resolute steps, Achyuta proceeded on foot and slew Shatadhanvan, the king of Mithila and master of supreme weapons. Yet, after slaying the mighty Bhoja, Krishna could not find the Syamantaka jewel. The wielder of the plough, Rama, then said to Krishna, “Return the jewel.” Krishna replied, “It is not here.” At this, Rama, filled with anger, reproached Janardana with harsh words. But out of brotherly affection, Rama forgave Krishna, saying, “May all be well with you. I shall depart now. I have no grievance with the woman, with you, nor with the Vṛṣṇis.” Rama, the destroyer of enemies, then entered Mithilā, where he was honored by the king with all desired offerings. At that very time, Babhrū, foremost among the wise, performed all kinds of unrestricted sacrifices of various forms. The illustrious king, son of Gādhi, entered the consecrated enclosure, clad in armor for protection, seeking the Syamantaka jewel. He dedicated wealth, excellent jewels, and various goods in his sacrifices, after sixty years had passed. These famous sacrifices of that great soul were known as “Akrūra-yajñas,” abundant in food and gifts, fulfilling every desire. Meanwhile, King Duryodhana, the mighty lord, traveled to Mithilā and received divine training in mace-fighting from Balabhadra. Afterward, having pleased the Brāhmaṇas and the great warriors of the Vṛṣṇis and Andhakas, he was brought to Dvārakā by the great-souled Krishna. The best of men, accompanied by Akrūra and the Andhakas, arrived; and in battle, the mighty one slew Śatrughna along with Bandhumān. To the sons of Śvaphalka, the two illustrious and exceedingly strong sons of Bhaṅgakāra, renowned among men, were born in Nara. These two, Śatrughna and Bandhumān, were born to the chief of the Andhakas for the destruction of Bhaṅgakāra; Krishna was not pleased by this. Fearing discord among his kin, Krishna overlooked the matter. When Akrūra departed, Indra withheld the rains. Because of the drought, the land was ruined and famine threatened. The Kukuras and Andhakas sought to appease Akrūra. When that lord of gifts returned again to Dvāravatī, the thousand-eyed Indra sent rain to the earth. Akrūra, the glorious chief of the Yadus, gave his virtuous sister as a bride to Vāsudeva, seeking his favor. Then Krishna, knowing through yoga that the jewel had gone to Babhrū, spoke to Akrūra in the assembly, “O lord, that precious jewel which is in your hand—give it up; do not harbor any resentment in this matter.” Akrūra replied, “When sixty years had passed, the anger that arose in me then became deeply rooted, and has remained great from that time.” At Krishna’s word, in the assembly of all the Sātvatas, Babhrū, wise and untroubled, gave up the jewel. Thereafter, Krishna received the jewel from Babhrū’s hand with sincerity and joyfully gave it back to him. Having received the Syamantaka gem from Krishna’s hand, the son of Gandini fastened it and shone like a radiant one. It is said: whoever, knowing a pure and excellent accusation to be false, proclaims it as false, should never go to the world beyond. Animitra was born from the youngest son of the Vrishni lineage. His son was Satyaka, truthful and endowed with truth; Satyaki, son of Yuyudhana, was born to him. Bhūti’s son was Yugandhara; these are called the descendants of Bhūti. Śvaphalka and Citraka were born as sons of Pṛśni. Śvaphalka, the great king, righteous in soul, wherever he resides, there is no fear of disease nor drought. Once, in the realm of the illustrious king of Kāśi, for three years, the rain-god withheld rain. There, the king caused Śvaphalka, highly honored, to dwell; by Śvaphalka’s residence, the rain-god poured rain. Śvaphalka took as wife the blameless daughter of the king of Kāśi, named Gandini, who always gave cows to the Brahmin. She dwelt in her mother’s womb for many hundreds of years, and was not born; her father spoke to her, who remained in the womb.
